Seeing Red Cars: Focus your attention and actions on the areas of your life that are out of whack

Header

In a world of inevitable imbalance, strive for harmony

 

Focusing on what you want extends beyond your job and career and must be intentional in all areas of your life.  Otherwise, you might wind up in a scenario like these:

  • Mark is a well-paid attorney with an established practice, however he is 80 pounds overweight and has difficulty climbing a flight of stairs.
  • Jennifer is married with three children and prides herself on her circle of friends and involvement with her kids’ schools, however she has been job-searching off and on (mostly off because she’s “too busy”) for three years, and her husband feels mounting financial pressure.
  • Liam traveled and worked short-term jobs in various countries for 10 years after college. Now he feels a yearning to marry and start a family.

It is not uncommon for people to focus greater attention on certain aspects of their lives based on their age, circumstances or external factors, such as the economy. At some point, most people will feel a want or need (e.g. if they are excessively overweight) to regain control of those areas of their lives that are out of whack.

 

In my new book Seeing Red Cars—Driving Yourself, Your Team and Your Organization to a Positive Future, the Red Cars Toolkit offers a series of exercises to help individuals:

  • Clarify their passions, interests, strengths and values
  • Brainstorm what they want in their personal and professional lives
  • Rate where they are currently in their quest for their goals on a Well Rounded Wheel
  • Plot prioritized targets, and
  • Create an action plan to work purposefully toward their goals

I believe there is no such thing as balance in our lives, because more attention inevitably needs to be paid to certain areas while less attention is paid to others, based on current circumstances and demands. What we should instead strive for is harmony—the amount of attention and focus in each area of our lives to feel happy and fulfilled, have positive relationships inside and outside our families, and be contributing members of society.

 

If you want to drive yourself, your team and your organization to a positive future, I am excited to offer the process and toolkit that can get you there. Check out these resources at seeingredcarsbook.com.
